Summer Registration for Barter Youth Academy Now Open
For parents looking for a fun and exciting activity for children, Barter Theatre is pleased to announce that registration is open for Barter Youth Academy's (BYA) 2014 summer theatre workshops. The deadline to register is fast approaching. Not only does Abingdon offer workshops, but earlier this year Barter expanded to include four additional sites: Bristol, Bluff City, Mountain City and Marion.
The workshops begin on the following dates: Marion is June 9; Abingdon is June 9; Bristol is June 9; Bluff City is July 8 and Mountain City is July 14.
BYA is a fun educational program that gives students ages 5-18 a chance to learn and develop their performance and storytelling skills by taking them through the entire experience of putting on a show, from the audition to the final performance on stage. Students learn to use the acting and rehearsing techniques of the Barter Resident Acting Company. BYA provides a safe, positive environment to enhance the abilities for the beginning performer and shape the talents of the advanced youth actor, culminating in a live performance to display their hard work to their family and friends.
The BYA team is excited to welcome students all over the region to share an exceptional educational experience, and the expansion to four new locations makes the program even more accessible. Workshops will take place at Small Business Incubator in Abingdon, Va.; First Baptist Church in Bluff City, Tenn.; Paramount Theatre in Bristol, Tenn.; Lincoln Theatre in Marion, Va.; and Heritage Hall Complex in Mountain City, Tenn.
Summer workshops are $200 per student (or $100 for ages 5 through 2nd grade), and generous donors have made scholarships available to students who need assistance.
Class sign-up forms, scholarship forms and a full schedule of classes are available at http://bartertheatre.com/parents-and-teachers.php#barteryouthacademy. To register by phone with a credit card, call 276.619.3344 or visit the Barter Administrative offices during business hours Monday through Friday to register in person.
